I am assuming this is an insert only (the top part).... how big is the pan? 1.5 quart? 3 quart? Seems to be a lack of description with this item.

The top can be used by itself. The top is a 1.5 qt. The bottom is a 2 qt.This is a nice setup. You can also buy the all-clad stainless insert (that is not copper core). This insert will fit a 3 qt. or 4qt. pot for those bigger jobs, like making candy.

Actually it is the entire double boiler as you see above. The bottom is 2 qt. and is sized for the ceramic insert. You can certainly use the bottom as a saucepan separately and the lid fits the bottom also. So it is really 2 pots in one! This piece is worth every cent you spend on it. I used mine tonight to melt chocolate and butter for brownies. No concerns about burning it. Great also for Hollandaise sauce. If you want a high quality double boiler, this is it. it will last a lifetime plus if treated with care. I hemmed and hawed about spending so much on it, but from the first time I used it I was happy with my purchase. Like I mentioned I used it tonight and told my husband how great it is.

Hi, I have a 3 quart All clad copper core. Yes the top part is the cover of the double boiler and the sauce pan has a cover as well. Since I bought, I have been making chocolate truffles. Also it is good for egg's benedict hollandaise sauce, it is just perfect.

No it is the insert, 2 quart pan and lid. I tried to buy just the insert because I had a 2 quart pan but you can only buy the porcelain insert which does not include the metal band with the handle. Good know if you break the insert you can replace it. I love my all clad copper core. It is the best cookware I have ever owned.

It is a copper core 2 quart pan with a lid and the porcelain double boiler insert. It is three pieces total.

Its really a small dishpan----------length is 13 1/2 inches, width 11 inches, both including lip. Height is really only 5 inches, not 5 3/4 as stated. It was actually too small for my sink and I use it for other purposes.

It got thrown away, so I can't measure it, but I can imagine it might have held about 3 quarts. It certainly did have one long handle as shown (and would not stand on its otherwise usefully curved base). I'd be very inclined to find one in a shop to check with the pan you intend to use beneath it before buying!

This pan holds 2-1/2 quarts filled to the brim. It is only 10 inches wide and 2-1/2 inches deep. I replaced a similar pan but it was much deeper. I wish my new pan was bigger.

Pan is very small. Not big enough for grilled cheese sandwich to fit. I use it to cook one egg that fits on a english muffin.

Hi Rodney - Here is the scoop - the insert is a true 3 qt capacity however - if you intend to stir whatever you are cooking forget that!!! It will do 2 quarts of liquid just fine and one of the best things about this set is that clean ups are great! Hope this helps

B. Coomes asks the very same question I have. I got a 12" skillet and sent it back because it was warped in the middle and NOT flat. I now BADLY want this 5.5 qt. casserole to take it's place, but I see negative reviews for it as well, exactly like my review for the 12" skillet. That was exceedingly disappointing! Does anyone with a FLAT cooktop stove have a good review for this pan??????? I'm not ordering until I know that they are not ALL defective, and that I have a good chance with it.

It is about 3 inches. It is a great size for a one pan meal as it is large enough to hold the ingredients and still have room to stir!

The floor of the insert is 13cm or 5 inches. But this pan is strictly for double boiling. I suppose given some butter or oil, you could set three eggs in it to poach over boiling water in the bottom pan, but I would not use it for frying.

Pan is non stick and works great. Size of is 9 1/2 by 5 1/2 with the insert being 8 1/2 by 4 1/2. I always use insert and makes the best meatloaf using approximately 2 lbs of meat. Hope this helps

It is in our Travel trailer at a campsite but my guess would be 2.5 or 3 in. It is a nice frying pan for the price.....I use it all the time and it doesn't seem to have hot spots as others do.

The one I have is about 2 inches. I love this pan and wouldn't part with it.

Honestly, this type of pan is not measured that way, so we don't know. It is 16-1/4 inch diameter, 2-1/2 inches deep so it might hold 2-3 quarts.

The sizes (capacity, I should say) are listed in the description (one quart, etc). I realized that I had the original set instead of the set II, and mine includes a 3-quart sauce pan instead of 2-quart, which is the only difference I can see. If you want measurements by the inch, you might check online for actual physical size of the pans.

Its no bigger than an ordinary muffin pan....it fits into my own toaster oven which is rather small.
